This primary season has been incredibly unpredictable. I'm not taking it as a given that a candidate who was left for dead less than a week ago has it all wrapped up. IMO the media made Bernie the frontrunner too soon and treated Biden as the underdog despite the fact that he's a former VP who started out with more endorsements and institutional support from Democratic groups than anyone else. His comeback was impressive, but I'm not ready to write Bernie's obituary yet.

FWIW, I don't have any skin in the game. I'm leaning toward Warren but accept that she probably won't be an option by the time I get to vote. I don't know who I'll vote for if it's between Bernie and Biden.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
